3D Congress

Invitation to the 20th 3D Congress of the DGS

25 – 27 May 2018 in Berlin

On 28 December 1927, “inbetween the years” as it were, the German Society for Stereoscopy was founded in Berlin and started its first year of activities in the service of stereoscopy in 1928. Hence, we are going to celebrate our 90th anniversary in 2018 and for this reason return with the 3D congress to the place of our foundation: to Berlin!

Venue

The congress will take place in the theatre of the youth centre Alte Pumpe. The courtyard of Alte Pumpe is located on Lützowstraße in Berlin Tiergarten, right in the middle of the city. As the crow flies, it is about 700 m to Nollendorfplatz, 1 km to Potsdamer Platz, 1.2 km to the posh shopping centre KaDeWe or 1.8 km to the Brandenburg Gate.
